H.O.P.E [ON HOLD]

First Loss

The sun shone bright that morning. The villagers were taking care of their crops and also of the forest and animals, as they shared laughs and kept business alive. The trees accompanied the wind, while the birds sang happily and and the sound of the water in the river filled the environment. The bell sounded one, two, three times, making parents and kids gather at the school's entrance. Among them, Yushin and Y/N were chatting, the girl having all her face covered, specially his eye. 

-"Be a good girl, alright?"

-"Yes daddy!"

-"Good, and, when you get home, I dare you to a battle!"

-"B/N and I are going to defeat you!"

-"We'll see!" -They high-fived, to then say goodbye. Y/N was smiling brightly. Little did she know that it would be the last time she would see her father like that.

[ . . . ]

-"And it did kaboom!"

-"Really my girl? Cool!"

-"... Mommy, and daddy?"

-"Eating" -Chuckled Iris and rolled her eyes.

-"Then we should hurry or he's not going to leave anything to us!" -Y/N ran home, excited, with her mother following close. 

[ . . . ]

Y/N and Iris had arrived home. Y/N was practicing with her bey, excited, while Iris was inside to tell Yushin food was ready. But that joy was interrupted by her screams.

-"Yushin! Yushin! Yushin! WAKE UP!"

Y/N ran to see what was happening, however, the door was locked. Not knowing what to do and victim of the fear, she broke her promise and ran to the village, taking her hoodie and covering her face. She was looking around desperate, and soon she identified a doctor. She grabbed his hand, making him look at her and crouch to her level. 

-"Hey, what's happening little girl? Are you lost?"

-"Mommy... She shouted daddy's name... And the door's locked... I don't think he's okay..."

The doctor took a serious expression and grabbed his briefcase -"Can you guide me to your home so I can help?"

Y/N nodded, and ran home again, the doctor by her side. When they arrived, the doctor knocked and said something that Y/N didn't listen. No one opened the door. He grunted and forced it, managing to open it, and followed the sobs. The girl was afraid of following him, but at the end she did, slowly. When she arrived to her parent's room, her eyes widened when she saw her father laying on the floor, a pool of blood surrounding him, and broken pieces of glass all over the room. Her mother was kneeling beside him and looked at her, broken. Yushin did too, following his wife's sight, and pronounced a soft "Come Y/N". However, her eyes released tears, and her body returned to the entrance quickly. Yushin grunted, and mumbled Y/N's name. Iris caressed his hair, and shook her head softly. Making him cry. He looked around, and grabbed a paper and a pen. He turned into a sitting position, and started writing. 

[ . . . ]

Y/N was in a corner, hugging herself, crying. Her eyes were puffy, and her body was shaking. Her sobs couldn't stop. She couldn't forget that scene, making the fear and the sadness take control of her poor mind. How? Why didn't her mother saw her with her warm look? Was it her fault? Why was her father dirty of red paint? He took out B/N and looked at it, broken.

-"B-B/N... What's happening-ning? What happened to da-daddy?"

B/N shone, answering her questions. Y/N tried to understand, but she could only feel more broken. Her eyes were about to release more tears, when her bey shone again, comforting her.
